"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Besides the vitamins and roughage...I read that it it good to eat fruit like strawberries or apple in the morning inorder to replinish liver gylcogen and prevent muscle cataboism later in the day.

Thoughts would be great!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Fruit is always good to eat, but it's by no means the difference between keeping and losing muscle.

Concentrate on the basics, bloody hell, this is a really minor detail ..

Unless you intend to make an entire meal out of fruit, having an apple or whatever with breakfast is perfectly fine.

I don't like to eat too much fruit in the day because it lowers your testosterone levels a bit.......but i do like to eat sliced peaches and an orange before I go for 1. energy and 2. Insulin is the only horomone in the body to decrease with exercise so eating fruit before running is always a kick.

If this is true then why do you and Manueva profess it to be so effective?

owned..yep!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I never advocated fruit before cardio, it was always empty stomach - I'm currently trying manuva's theory to see if it makes a difference. I'd never heard of it before.

And even if it does make for more efficient fat burning I still wouldn't say that it's THE difference, maybe you burn another 100 calories of fat this way, over time this adds up.. but it still won't be a significant difference at all, however if it is then yeah, my opinion will change.

You really need to check dates of threads tj.

Incidentally, how come YOU eat fruit in the morning and then rubbish our opinion?

another aspect.... if adding a piece of fruit in the morning keeps you from wanting to puke, or gives you that little "boost" while not stopping fat loss, or even helping it... then it's like anything else that keeps you comfortable in your life. Keep to things that feel cool!
